Perverse Serenity
Robyn Rowland Instant Download What happens when an Australian feminist falls in love with an Irish monk? Robyn Rowland travelled to Ireland hoping to delve into her family's history. She circles the country, driving its roads in search of something more. What she finds is risk, uncertainty, clarity and turbulence. Is this love wasted, dry and juiceless? Or is the tearing what love should be all about? In poems that soar and wreck themselves at the base of cliffs, Robyn Rowland takes us into a raw and exultant world.

Reviews
Write a review. ‘The poems are characterised by a strength of passion, by a searching self-examination, by a daring of emotion that is reflected in the language and images.’ John Hanrahan'This poetry is vast with remembering.’ Meg Tasker, Australian Women’s Book Review‘Here is a picture of a woman’s divided loves, for a love in Ireland and for one in Australia, drawn with rare honesty and a compelling strength of observation … Here is writing not afraid to be vulnerable, not trapped in literary artifice, nor reticent about emotion, its hopes, its fears, its withdrawals and assertions, which we all share and which enrich our humanity.’ Barrett Reid
